Help talk me into quail (for meat)

Day 6ish and I’ve gone through and candled them all. Fertile eggs appear to be about half dark as the embryos grow. I removed 15 blanks and left a few other questionable ones. Both the cracked and sealed ones are still in there so we’ll see what happens. Shocking fertility rate though if about 50% are duds, I’d expect that from shipped eggs but local?

So 19 eggs left, hoping for at least a dozen to make it to lockdown.
